Chess Study Group?
Would anyone be interested in doing a chess study group? We could do something similar to what other people do when they form HOH or TOP study groups and go through some chess book. Or maybe discuss certain openings. Maybe even analyze high level GM/IM games.
Would anyone be interested in such a group? or have better ideas on what to study? |

Re: Chess Study Group?
I think that would be great. I just started to play chess again after about a ten year layoff, and would like to refresh my brain with everything I have forgotten! Count me in.

I'll be happy to troll your threads and try to recruit bridge and backgammon players.

PokerDealer: Check Ebay. I got a good quality chessmat/pieces/clock for like 35 total.
I'd love to be a part of the chess study group. |

Re: Chess Study Group?
I dig.
Two recommendations for books: The Amateur's Mind, Silman (this has more words and concepts written out and explained - a lot of words in this one) The Art of Attack, Vukovic (this one is pretty good I hear but is a bit more advanced and consists mostly of annotated games) |
